The House of Gulin

The House of Gulin was established by descendants of the Gulin family of the Russian nobility - a lineage recorded in imperial registers dating to the early 19th century. The family's legacy traces through generations of architects, patrons, and artisans whose work helped shape the artistic and cultural fabric of imperial Russia.

Among their forebears were architects of St. Petersburg, whose buildings—marked by the refinement and grandeur of the city's late-imperial aesthetic—remain preserved as part of its architectural heritage. Another branch of the family founded the Gulin Porcelain Manufactory in the Gzhel region in 1814, one of Russia's earliest independent porcelain houses. Its pieces, celebrated for their craftsmanship and painterly decoration, were collected by aristocratic circles and remain preserved in Russian museum collections.

The House of Gulin today continues this tradition of cultural stewardship. Drawing on a lineage that has long bridged the creation, collection, and preservation of art, the firm approaches every engagement with the same values that defined its founders: expertise, integrity, and discretion. Today, under the direction of the Gulin family's descendants, the House remains dedicated to the art of collecting—advising a discerning global clientele with a sensibility shaped by two centuries of artistic heritage and private connoisseurship.
